I used to be able to list my rules via a cgi script but since moving to redhat 9 (iptables 1.2.7a) it fails. The reson given is "can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded." which is absolutley accurate (because I get this logging in as a local user and running /sbin/iptables -L too) - but I need to know how to achieve this. I tried altering the group on /sbin and /sbin/iptables and adding my local user to that, but still it fails. Am I missing something really obvious? Either way, your assistance/advice is welcome.
